Seniors can benefit greatly from Art Therapy.
Art can be very therapeutic, satisfying, and can also give you a sense of purpose and belonging. Art can also help to improve physical and mental well-being.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso
- Art therapy may bring back memories that had been forgotten since memory loss.
- Participating in art regularly can improve blood flow, alleviating stiffness, and inflammation, which can relieve pain.
- Group Art therapy programs can be a good way for seniors to socialise with others, which has a lot of benefits such as helping to prevent mental decline.
- Art can aid in improving the confidence and reduce stress in individuals through self-expression. For individuals that are not able to easily express themselves with language, art can be very therapeutic.
